It's Not Just You: Retiring To The Country

It Can't Just Be Me

Available for over a year

This week, Anna is joined by psychotherapist Sam Pennells-Nkolo to discuss a listener question. Lou is in her 50s and very happy with her life, but her husband wants to relocate from the city to the country. Does getting older mean we automatically want a slower pace of life? And how do we navigate big decisions where ultimately people want different things without compromising a loving relationship? Sam has some excellent advice to share. If you have a dilemma or situation you'd like discussed, reach out to Anna by emailing [email protected] or DM her on Instagram @itcantjustbemepod Nothing is off limits, we’re open to it all, from your mental health, to dating, to your sex life to addiction…all of the challenges and hurdles that life throws at you - It's Not Just You is a place for you to find some practical advice and support.
